What better way to welcome the week than with a beautiful, blingy, sparkly, explosive, gorgeous, an aka "you need this polish" polish?! It's no secret that I love Stella Chroma. Her polish wears like iron on me and the quality and presentation is top notch! This month's Polish Pickup is one you do not want to miss!

Stella Chroma Karavaki, December Polish Pickup

This month's theme is Holidays Around the World, and Stella Chroma chose Karavaki, a Greek holiday that celebrates boats! Here is the inspiration picture! This photo is courtesy of Stella Chroma.

Karavaki: 3 coats plus top coat. This would be opaque at two coats on shorter nails or on those who don't have such an opaque free edge like I do. This is a black jelly base FILLED with blue and silver holographic glitter. This is nothing short of amazing. It's full on bling and beauty. I'm loving this for Chanukah and winter manicures. It's just so perfect with the theme, inspiration, and execution.

It was sunny so I had to check it out outside, and HOLY MY EYES. This is so sparkly. If you love sparkle, you need this.

I knew this would be amazing matte, and it is! You can see the grey/black base really easily. It looks 3D when it's matte! I love it matte, but the full on sparkle is my jam!

To go together with the polish, Stella Chroma is also releasing a Cinnamon Baklava scrub! OH MY WORD. You can read about the quality of the scrub in my full review HERE. It gets rid of the dead skin cells and softens like WHOA. This scent is divine. It's definitely gourmand, but it's not sickly sweet. The spice of the cinnamon gives it perfect balance!

Karavaki retails for $12. The sugar scrub is 2.5 oz and retails for $5.50, so really. Since The Polish Pickup ships for a flat $3 to the North America, I highly suggest tackling this onto your order. This month's Polish Pickup is December 1st-4th, and you would be flat out silly NOT to add these to your order!
